Tendrils

As in a good foundation,
the tendrils we share with others
are kind of amazing.
We are bound together by
laughter, love, memories,
pain, struggle, hope, faith.
Sometimes, those tendrils become
fragile and frayed.
They may break.
Some are so thick and so strong
there will never be a nick.
But they are there.
Dusty, hidden, twisted, gnarled.
But there.
I am so blessed by the tendrils
that I have offered and
those that have been offered to me.
We are knotted.
We are connected.
We support one another.
We help in each other's growth.
Be aware of what your tendrils
are tied to.
